Remmers gets 2nd round tender

The expected and right move.

Even if you hate him after the Super Bowl and never want him to start for us again, he is at worst a mediocre starting OT and would be a great backup swing tackle which is worth $2.5M.

The people who hate him should watch some more game footage of Nate Chandler....bless his heart.

Saying someone is good simply because someone else isn't is incorrect, but I do agree 100% that Remmers is far from the worst RT Carolina has fielded in recent years. I'd even go so far as to say someone can watch any season from 2011-mid-2014 and compare to Remmers to see what he brings to the table... there were more bad performances than good in that timespan.

Glad to see this.  Hope Daryl Williams balls out and becomes our new starting RT, but Remmers has been solid.  Obviously he was lousy in the SB, but so were a lot of our players.  Remmers could become very valuable as a swing backup on the Oline for multiple positions.  This is very good news.  Hopefully no other team will want him with that 2nd round draft pick they'd have to give up.  It may have helped us that everyone's most recent memory is his terrible game.  He had something like 22 or 23 solid games out of 26... so, I'll take that.

I feel like the 2nd round tender isn't just fair compensation for Remmers, it'd also be fair compensation for us if somebody fell in love with him. Even in the event that he loses his starting job to Williams, $2.5M is more than a value for a player with his talent and versatility on the OL.

CHARLOTTE - The Panthers have retained the rights to restricted free agent Mike Remmersicon-article-link.gif , their starting right tackle last season, and have re-signed restricted free agent wide receiver Stephen Hillicon-article-link.gif to a one-year contract.

By tendering a contract to Remmers, Carolina retains the right of first refusal on any contract offers made by other teams to Remmers by the April 22 deadline. The Panthers would receive a draft pick if they chose to not match an offer.

Remmers took over as the Panthers' starting right tackle with five games remaining in the 2014 regular season and has been the starter for all 21 regular season games and all five postseason games since. The Panthers are 22-4 in those games.

An undrafted rookie out of Oregon State in 2012, Remmers joined the Panthers midway through the 2015 season when Carolina signed him off St. Louis' practice squad.

    • How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.
    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
